I just upgraded several of my systems from Redhat 7.1 to 7.2. The application I run on these systems does not yet support 7.3.
I am still getting the same results on this issue, even with ext3 filesystems. However on an IBM Netfinity 4000r system with the same SCSI
disks but no raid controller, mke2fs works OK.
The newest kernel for 7.2 is still 2.4.9-31. Does Redhat 7.3 have the 2.5 kernel you mentioned? If not what release is 2.5 targetted for?

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.
The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases,
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
